Unfortunately, there are still very few classical recordings there to recommend and none of the labels which they lost seem to have returned, so it’s still ‘jam yesterday and jam tomorrow’. A series of recordings of Mozart’s piano music, including the piano trios and piano quartets, which may look attractive, doesn’t even name the performers. A New Year’s Concert, which might easily be mistaken for the latest Vienna Phil recording, since it’s entitled Neujahrskonzert, is an omnium gatherum of recordings for budget labels from the Tbilisi Orchestra and the St Petersburg Radio and TV Orchestra. At £10.50 for three hours of music, it looks like decent value but it’s not the Vienna Phil and it seems to offer only waltzes, without the variety that the VPO offer in their concerts. Furthermore, if you browse recent ‘classical’ recordings, most of what is offered would be hard to classify as such. Click on some of the promising offerings and you find ‘that album is unavailable’. There still is some gold and silver among the dross, such as the INA Archives recording of MESSIAEN’s Turangalîla Symphony, with Yvonne Loriod, a January 1959 broadcast in a decent transfer for £5.88, though you probably won’t want the announcements before and after, in French and German. An even better Messiaen bargain featuring Yvonne Loriod, this time with the Czech Philharmonic and Václav Neumann comes in the form of Oiseaux exotiques, La Bouscarle and Réveil des oiseaux on Supraphon for just £1.26. The recording, supervised by the composer, is no longer available on CD except in a 6-CD package. Since I reviewed this in DL News 2015/3, emusic.com downloads have been transformed to the highest bit-rate of 320kb/s. To the best of my knowledge, however, the claim on the Supraphon cover ‘digital recording’ is grossly misleading – the LP was released in 1969 (SUAST50749), well before the era of digital recording. Incidentally, that LP cost 25/6, which is almost exactly £1.26; who said that nothing ever stays the same? I must stress that the false claim is made by Supraphon, not by emusic.com. Those unwilling to commit to an emusic.com subscription, will find the Supraphon for £1.99 (mp3) or £2.49 (lossless) at 7digital.com. There’s no booklet from either source or, indeed, with the streamed version of the 6-CD set from Naxos Music Library. MusicWeb International p2 Second Thoughts & Second Reviews - Winter 2019/2 Many fine recordings disappeared with the demise of the super-budget Carlton Classics and IMP Classics CD labels. Some of these are available from emusic.com and one highlight is André Previn’s remake of WALTON’s Belshazzar’s Feast, not the better-known LSO version but the one which originally appeared on the RPO’s own label, with Benjamin Luxon, the Brighton Festival Chorus and Collegium Musicum of London in 1986. The coupling is the Henry V Suite. At £5.88, that’s less expensive than the nearest mp3 version that I can find, at £7.49, with the least expensive lossless download at £7.99. There’s no booklet with any version that I can find. *** Al Andalus - Arabic-Andalusian Music Inshad - Baitan - Insiraf [4:00] Touchia - Sana’a [3:33] (no title) [3:27] Sana’a [3:22] M’saddar - Sana’a [3:03] M’saddar [4:24] M’shalya [2:20] Sana’a - Touchia [1:47] Sana’a [1:25] M’saddar - Sana’a [1:48] Taqsim [2:34] M’shalya - Touchia - Sana’a [2:19] Taqsim - Sana’a [3:58] Taqsim - Muas-sa-taquil - Sana’a [4:26] Atrium Musicæ de Madrid/Gregorio Paniagua rec.

HARMONIA MUNDI MUSIQUE D’ABORD HMA195389 [42:26] Reviewed as lossless download (no booklet) from CD from First released on LP in 1977 and on full-price CD in 1992, then twice on the budget-price Musique d’Abord label, with different covers, this may be hard to come by on disc: Amazon UK report three only in stock. Those content with mp3 should find it for around £4.99, but it’s worth paying a little extra ($9.55) for the eclassical.com lossless version. Neither comes with a booklet, but the d’Abord series notes are usually minimal. All you really need to know is that the music is performed on traditional instruments by a team whose recordings are influenced by North African practice. The music is always rhythmic, if a little more restrained than you may be expecting, though Taqsim - Sana’a on the penultimate track sounds almost like the prototype of Ravel’s Boléro. Don’t confuse this with similar recordings by Eduardo Paniagua and Musica Antigua on his own label Pneuma – DL Roundup March 2009 and DL News 2013/5 where I expressed some reservations about the performance style.

Reviewed as 24/96 download with pdf booklet and bonus track from The name Antoine de Févin is hardly familiar, even among renaissance specialists. His very dates and birthplace are uncertain, as is the question whether the contemporary composer Robert de Févin was his brother (probably). Prior to this Hyperion release, we had the Requiem which either he or Anthonius Divitis composed, (just) possibly for the death of Anne of Brittany (ÆON ÆCD1216 – review – Zig-Zag Territoires ZZT110501 – review) together with shorter pieces included in various collections. Of the two Requiem recordings, that on Æon is ruled out for me by what I call the ‘Khartoum on ice’ syndrome whereby everything has to be controlled by gimmick, the prime example of which is having the sword in Wagner’s Siegfried forged on a gas cooker in a bijou kitchenette in the Stuttgart production; I kid you not. (Euroarts 2052088 – review of earlier release – or box set – review). Organum and Marcel Pérès on Æon produce some absolutely wonderful singing, but spoil things completely by the application of Pérès’ unproven theories based on Corsican folksong – elaborate melismata and doubling the bass line an octave lower, also known as the dreaded ‘chapel-bass’. My reservations apply to most of Pérès’ other recordings – see Autumn 2018/3 – and many of those of Graindelavoix, who subscribe to Organum’s low-pitch approach. Nor am I totally convinced by the Zig-Zag alternative.

    Guillaume Du Fay Discography

    Guillaume Du Fay Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of Guillaume Du Fay (Dufay) builds on the work published in Fanfare in January and March 1980. There are more than three times as many entries in the updated version. It has been published in recognition of the publication of Guillaume Du Fay, his Life and Works by Alejandro Enrique Planchart (Cambridge, 2018) and the forthcoming two-volume Du Fay’s Legacy in Chant across Five Centuries: Recollecting the Virgin Mary in Music in Northwest Europe by Barbara Haggh-Huglo, as well as the new Opera Omnia edited by Planchart (Santa Barbara, Marisol Press, 2008–14). Works are identified following Planchart’s Opera Omnia for the most part. Listings are alphabetical by title in parts III and IV; complete Masses are chronological and Mass movements are schematic. They are grouped as follows: I. Masses II. Mass Movements and Propers III. Other Sacred Works IV. Songs (Italian, French) Secular works are identified as rondeau (r), ballade (b) and virelai (v). Dubious or unauthentic works are italicised. The recordings of each work are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, and timing if available; then the format of the recording (78, 45, LP, LP quad, MC, CD, SACD), the label, and the issue number(s). Each recorded performance is indicated, if known, as: with instruments, no instruments (n/i), or instrumental only. Album titles of mixed collections are added. ‘Se la face ay pale’ is divided into three groups, and the two transcriptions of the song in the Buxheimer Orgelbuch are arbitrarily designated ‘a’ and ‘b’.

    EARLY MUSIC NOW WITH SARA SCHNEIDER Broadcast Schedule — Summer 2020 PROGRAM #: EMN 20-01 RELEASE: June 22, 2020 Treasures from Wolfenbüttel Starting in the late Renaissance, the court at Wolfenbüttel in northern Germany emerged as a cultural center. The dukes of the house of Welf employed high-profile composers like Michael Praetorius to increase their prestige, but lesser masters like Daniel Selichius made their mark as well. In this edition of Early Music Now, we'll hear from both composers, with performances by the Huelgas Ensemble and Weser-Renaissance Bremen. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-02 RELEASE: June 29, 2020 Those Talented Purcells This week's show focuses on Henry Purcell, and his lesser-known brother (or cousin) Daniel. We'll hear chamber music by both composers, plus selections from the semiopera they worked on together: The Indian Queen, from a 2015 release by The Sixteen. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-03 RELEASE: July 6, 2020 The Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia This week's program showcases an extraordinary recent release from the Portland-based ensemble Cappella Romana. This recording of medieval Byzantine chant composed for Hagia Sophia was recorded entirely in live, virtual acoustics, and soared to #1 on Billboard's Traditional Classical chart! These evocative sounds linger in the soul long after the music fades. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-04 RELEASE: July 13, 2020 Salomone Rossi: Revolutionary Jewish composer Salomone Rossi was a musician who served the Gonzaga court in Mantua. They valued him so highly that he was given a relatively large amount of personal freedom, while other members of the Jewish faith were restricted.

The CD is compiled from at least 3 different performances and while I found the sound to be adequate to mediocre, the quality of their material does seem to shine through. While I wouldn’t put the band in my own personal Top 10 of 1970’s rockers, they are pretty good. I think it is a shame I wasn’t musically aware in the 70’s because I probably would have liked the band. They’ve got a lively and energetic sound tied to that particular era and it does keep the ears engaged, even during the first half of the disc where the quality of the recording isn’t even as good as some bootlegs I’ve listened to over the years. The audio quality is the biggest problem I had with the entire disc. I think if you are going to reissue this type of album, you really need to make the sound more Official Site presentable than what a typical bootlegger could accomplish. You want to check out tracks like “Detroit Girls”, “Any Way That You Want It”, and “Cherry Baby” in particular, but surprisingly at least to me, each song is pretty good.

    Early Music Review EDITIONS OF MUSIC here are thirteen works in the present volume. The first two are masses by John Bedingham, while the others are anonymous mass movements (either New from Stainer & Bell T single or somehow related). Previous titles in the series have been reviewed by Clifford Bartlett, and I confess this English Thirteenth-century Polyphony is the first time I have looked at repertory from this period A Facsimile Edition by William J. Summers & Peter M. since I studied Du Fay at university! At that time I also Lefferts sang quite a lot of (slightly later) English music, so I am not Stainer & Bell, 2016.

Most of the pieces are in two or three T- apologies for the old school measurements!) is a parts (a fourth part – called “Tenor bassus” – is added to marvel to behold. The publisher has had to use glossy paper the Credo of Bedingham’s Mass Dueil angoisseux in only in order to give the best possible colour reproductions of one of the sources).

    History of the Portuguese Music: an Overview

    HISTORY OF THE PORTUGUESE MUSIC: AN OVERVIEW Rui César Vilão Physics Department, University of Coimbra, PORTUGAL Abstract A brief overview of the history of the Portuguese music is given. In memoriam José Carlos Travassos Cortez 1. PREVIOUS REMARKS Presenting a communication on such a vast field as the subject of this work is usually a task for specialists. Only these are able to smoothly draw a global and coherent picture of their field of study. So, if you are not a specialist (even if you have a deep interest for the field) and you occupy your days working in an entirely different subject (say the physics of muonium states in semiconductors), you are surely in trouble! There are two possible solutions for this dilemma: a) ask a specialist and b) do it à la Newton (even if you're not one), climbing in the shoulders of giants. The mountaineering option was adopted here, and four giants helped me in viewing higher: Rui Vieira Nery and Paulo Ferreira de Castro with their História da Música [1], João de Freitas Branco with his História da Música Portuguesa [2] and José Carlos Travassos Cortez with his passioned and illuminating lessons on the history of Portuguese music that I was lucky to attend in the Conservatório de Musica de Coimbra [3]. I am very pleased to dedicate this work to his memory. Apart from Refs. [1-3], which are available in Portuguese only, all the other references are relative to introductory notes of compact-discs and are generally available in English as well. Of course these discographic indications are not extensive, but I believe they constitute a basis (surely not the only one!) for a good start in Portuguese-specialized melomania.
